Prices for bicycle transportation
Depending on the type of boat and number of passengers, space on board may be limited. For this reason we cannot guarantee transportation of bicycles. Bicycles are not permitted on River Limmat boats.
If accompanied bicycle transportation is possible, you need to purchase an additional regular ZVV ticket (2nd class, discount prices) or an SBB day pass. The most cost effective way to travel locally with a bicycle is to buy a ZVV ticket. For longer distances, it's worth buying an SBB day pass.
